Thumbs up

Yeah that was kind of weak. Weather radar made it looks nicer than it really was, oh well. Good to finally see the track and figure out where stuff is, even if it was during a monsoon.

2 weeks from now will be much nicer...can't wait.

The track looks awesome.

Cool

Well I hate to see that the race was called off, but on the other hand looked like I picked a great weekend to please the WIFE and stay home..
Sorry. And no I didn't pray for rain, I was still outside doing yard work..
Mike

At least my rc's are still clean.

I used yesterday to finally get organized myself. I did pretty well for throwing everything in the car, just forgot a chair and a power strip. Learned for next time.

Question though...its been forever since I've ran off road...What is the tire of choice up there for the different classes?

If someone could run through them that would be helpful. I am going to run 2WD electric truck and 1/8 truggy, but knowing all of them would help someone else I am sure.

Nothing new, I've had this Mugen for awhile just haven't had a chance to go racing. Been debating running buggy or truggy, truggy sounds more fun.. Looks easier on tires.

Yeah wonderful day today, way to plan racing on Saturdays guys.. hah..

We put up lights for a reason. Really though, Scott went by the track and said there was masive standing water so it musta rained alot harder after we left yeasterday.

As far as tires
1/10 truck= Switches, Holeshots, Bowties, maybe even a pink Taper

Truggy I dont know, I dont run one. I would think the same thing but in a Low Profile.
Hope this helps.

We went by around 8PM Sunday night and lots of puddles. Noticed that some bike riders had tried it out. The rain stopped around 4 or 5 Saturday.
